What happens when you plant into a pot that's already been grown in?

I have 5 pots from my last grow with the roots still intact, they're in Happy Frog soil, and I was wondering what would happen if I cut out the top of the root ball and then planted seedlings into them? Would they root easier by following the paths of the old roots? Would there be an issue with decomposition swinging my pH out of balance? I've heard about this no-till stuff but it seems more focused on composting and organic amendments than any focus on why the roots are kept in the soil without tilling, and I read a book recently that was talking about how some trees grow better in old-growth forests because they find the old root channels.
